Addison County residents are likely used to seeing corn growing in local fields, as the crop is a popular one often used by farmers to feed their livestock. While many local farms continue to grow corn and other well-known forage crops for their animals, some have shifted to another option — sorghum sudangrass.

UVM Extension officials note the annual grass crop is drought-resistant and can provide a resilient option for farmers’ forage systems. Sorghum sudangrass was the focus of a recent farmer roundtable hosted by the Middlebury Extension Office, where local farmers gathered to discuss how the crop has performed at their operations.

It was ground and pound for the top-seeded Middlebury Union High School football team in Saturday night’s Division I final against No. 2 St. Johnsbury on South Burlington High’s turf field - and the Tigers took home the crown.

The team crafted their 13-7 victory by running for 265 yards on 51 attempts, using tough defense to limit the Hilltoppers to four yards rushing and a net 144 yards passing, and staving off a late St. Johnsbury rally with an interception followed by a game-clinching 4th-down run.

The Tigers finished 10-1, earned the program’s 15th championship, and completed the program’s 17th straight winning season.

Our Story

The Addison Independent was founded in 1946 with the closing of the Middlebury Register. The AI has always been a family-owned independent newspaper. Current publisher/editor Angelo Lynn has been at the helm for more than 20 years. The Addison Independent is as much a part of the local community as many of the institutions covered on the front page. Being a community newspaper means that the AI's award-winning editorial staff covers local events in a way that's different from a large metropolitan or regional daily. The aim is to tell readers about their friends and neighbors and about events in local government, schools, sports and business that affect how readers live. The AI also provides readers everything they need to know about local entertainment and events. Just a note: A like isn't an endorsement — we just want to know what you're up to!
